Making and eating steamed dumplings brings me a sense of peace. It’s a comforting ritual that connects me to my family and traditions.

Steps
- Combine ground pork, cabbage, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix well.
- Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water.
